This also means that exactly the same content will be subjected to two different regulatory regimes, one applicable to broadcast content and the other applicable to the same broadcast content on the internet. To remedy this, we request that the Committee makes the recommendation that the Minister issues the updated Determination as set out in the joint submission from the radio broadcast sector - signed by ABC, SBS, CBAA and CRA. As you may note, this is an issue for the entire radio industry not just commercial stations. While we fully and wholeheartedly support the joint submission and all points made in it, we also wish to bring the views of regional broadcasters to your attention directly. The impact on the viability of local regional radio stations will be significant if we are required to pay twice for exactly the same content being broadcast at the same time over the internet.

Is a House Always a Home?: A Survey of Homelessness Laws By: Marlei English1 March 6, 2020 Homelessness is a plague that spares no country, yet not a single country has cured it. The type of legislation regarding homelessness in a country seems to correlate with the severity of its homelessness problem. The highly-variative approaches taken by each country when passing their legislation can be roughly divided into two categories: aid-based laws and criminalization laws. Analyzing how these homelessness laws affect the homeless community in each country can be an important step in understanding what can truly lead to finding the “cure” for homelessness rather than just applying temporary fixes. I. Introduction to the Homelessness Problem Homelessness is not a new issue, but it is a current, and pressing issue.2 In fact, it is estimated that at least 150 million individuals are homeless.3 That is about two percent of the population on Earth.4 Furthermore, an even larger 1.6 billion individuals may be living without adequate housing.5 While these statistics are startling, the actual number of individuals living without a home could be even larger because these are just the reported and observable numbers.

This practice- based research explores the rich history of radio as an artistic medium and the relationship between the artist and technology, emphasising the role of the artist as a mediator between broadcast institutions and a listening public. It considers how radio art might be defined in relation to sound art, music and media art, mapping its shifting parameters in the digital era and prompting a consideration of how radio appears to be moving from a dispersed „live‟ event to one consumed „on demand‟ by a segmented audience across multiple platforms.

  • Homeless People in Japan
    Homeless People in Japan: Characteristics, Processes and Policy Responses1) Yusuke KAKITA Introduction 1. Discussion The first ‘National Survey of Homeless People’ was held in Japan in January and February 2003 and the results were published in the following month of March2). According to this survey, in which I participated, it is estimated that there are currently more than 25,000 homeless people in Japan. This paper, by analyzing the national survey results, aims at disclosing the characteristics of homeless people in Japan. In addition, I would like to relate the process of falling into homelessness and the occupation and housing conditions of homeless people before they became homeless. I will insist on the importance of social security and social welfare systems as a safety net to protect people to fall into homelessness. Finally, I would like to discuss the policy responses extended to homeless people. 2. On the Term ‘Homeless People’ In Japan, ‘homeless people’ (hōmuresu) and ‘rough sleepers’ (nojuku seikatsusha) are words that are used in a similar way. However, I would like first to raise readers’ attention on the point that there is a clear distinction between ‘homeless people’ or the state of homelessness and ‘rough sleepers’ or the state of sleeping rough. For example in the European context, ‘rough sleepers’ are people who do not have a ‘house’ to live in, and they sleep outdoors. ‘Homeless people’ are more generally those with unstable or insufficient housing conditions. Consequently, rough sleepers are included in the more general homeless definition. They represent a particular type of homeless people. Such taxonomic differences between Japan and Europe have a significant impact on policy making.

    vol. 1, n.2, December 2012, pp. 60-80 | www.vejournal.org | ISSN 2281-1605 _____________________________________________________________________________ Elena Kilina Lund University, Sweden Cubicle shelter: public space for private use? Abstract This paper explores the intersection of new urban spaces and new modalities of ‘homelessness’ in Japanese cities. We argue that the recent social phenomenon of “net café refugees” (netto kafe nanmin – people who substitute ‘manga cafes’ for their domestic residence) is conditioned by new forms of leisure, information technology, social manners, and the long-term contraction of the Japanese domestic economy. The utility of leisure spaces in Tokyo has shifted in parallel with changes in the work habits and professional expectations among the Japanese poor and lower middle class. White-collar workers substitute karaoke’s and saunas for living rooms, and they use capsule hotels in place of regular bedrooms. Many students and the chronic unemployed spend virtually all their time in gaming cafes and 24- hour’s convenience stores. This study investigates the co-evolution of the “hidden homeless” and Tokyo Internet and comic book spaces called “manga cafés.” Why are more Japanese people ‘living’ in manga net café’s? What can this tell us about changes in the Japanese urban fabric and social landscape? This work will try to investigate assumptions about distinction between public and private, what the role of “hidden homeless” in the process of changes of public space for private use and the dynamic of changes certain space under social changes. Keywords manga café, public space, private space, Internet, Tokyo, temporary homeless, nanmin Elena Kilina Research field for Bachelor project was Chinese culturology and philosophy, thesis project was about concept of fate based on the ancient Chinese fortune-telling practice.

  • Hiroko Kubota
    A Narrative Inquiry into the Experiences of People who are Homeless in Japan. by Hiroko Kubota A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Nursing University of Alberta © Hiroko Kubota, 2017 ii Abstract In this paper based dissertation, experiences of people who are/were homeless in Japan were explored using narrative inquiry. Treating narratives as storied phenomena under study, narrative inquiry is considered both as a research methodology and as a way of understanding human experiences (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000). Through engaging in weekly face-to-face conversations over three months in Japan, the participants and I slowly co-created a relational space where we traveled to each other’s worlds (Lugones, 1987), and co-composed stories of us and our relationship. As we lived in the midst of our lives and in our relationship, our stories intersected and interacted by shaping ways to inquire into experiences. Drawing on the life stories of three participants whose name are Yoshi, Apapane, and Ama, the complexity and the multiplicity entailed within their experiences of being homeless in Japan were revealed. Their experiences of being homeless in Japan bring forward important insights into resistance to the dominant narratives about homelessness in Japan. Their stories also call forth attentiveness to their untold sufferings caught by difficulties of living on the streets, and to their strength and generosity they have nourished amidst their experiences of being homeless. Their bodies, which appear in public places can be further understood as a political stance to articulate their lives to others and summon up human connectedness underpinned by caring and respectful recognitions.

  • Changing Representations of Homelessness in Japanese Newspapers
    Changing Representations of Homelessness in Japanese Newspapers Tamara Swenson Brad Visgatis 日本新聞のホームレスについてのニュース報道における構造の変化 スェンソン・タマラ ヴィスゲィティス・ブラッド Abstract This paper examines how representations of homelessness in coverage by the Japanese media changed from 1991 to 2006 through changes in framing in Japanese news media coverage of homelessness. Coverage of homelessness in the Japanese and English-language newspapers, published by the Yomiuri and the Asahi media groups, provides a picture of the perception of homeless Japanese. This paper presents results from an examination of four newspapers: sampled articles from the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun from 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2006, and a census of articles from the Daily Yomiuri and English edition of Asahi Shimbun. Results indicate that coverage increased as the economy stagnated. As article frequency increased, the issue was framed with more descriptive language, leading to a perceived increase in the intensity of the articles’ discussions. Though this was observed in all the publications, article descriptiveness and intensity varied between groups and languages. Key words : homelessness, Japanese media, framing, content analysis (Received September 30, 2008) 抄 録 日本のマスメディアによって報道されたホームレスの人々の描写が 1991 年から 2006 年 にかけてどのように変化したのかを、ニュース報道における枠組み / 構造の変化を通して、 検証する。本稿では 1991 年～ 2006 年の 4 種類の新聞（読売新聞と朝日新聞の日本語版お よび Daily Yomiuri と Asahi Shimbun 英語版）による記事に着目した。調査の結果、経済 の悪化に伴い、ホームレスに関する一連の報道が増加していることが明らかになった。報 道が増加するに連れてホームレス問題は詳細に記述され、記事内の議論はその激しさを増 していった。さらに調査結果は、その詳細の程度や議論の激しさが、各新聞、そして言語 により異なることを示した。 キーワード：ホームレス、日本のメディア、フレーム付け、内容分析 （2008 年 9 月 30 日受理） － 19 － 大阪女学院大学紀要５号（2008） Introduction From Furousha to Hômuresu The Japanese word for the homeless is furousha, literally “flotsam people;” people discarded to float on the waves like refuse thrown from a passing ship.

    Labour Market Changes and Living Standards: A Study of Homeless Population in Japan and Slums in India Arup Mitra Visiting Research Fellow Institute of Developing Economies JETRO Japan May 2006 Institute of Economic Growth Delhi University Enclave Delhi-110007 India e-mail: [email protected] fax: 91-11-27667410 1 Acknowledgement My sincerest gratitude to Drs Shuji Uchikawa, Hajime Sato, Atsushi Kato and Michiru-san and Yuko Tsujita, for their enormous help and support without which it would not have been possible for an Indian to pursue this study on homeless population in Japan. I have profited immensely from their guidance at every stage of my research including translation of data, literature review, conducting primary survey and holding interviews with government officials and members of NGOs. My IDE-counterpart, Hajime-san and my former post-doctoral student Kato-san allowed me generously to encroach upon their personal freedom and time. Their efforts to make my stay enjoyable are beyond my power of expression. Drs Mayumi Murayama, T. Yamagata, S. Inomata, H. Oda, K. Imai and M. Makino extended intellectual and academic support in a number of ways. I have benefited greatly from discussions with Professors Yujiro Hayami, Konosuke Odaka and Hideki Esho. Besides, I have received encouragement from several researchers in IDE. The administrative and library staff extended help with great warmth and enthusiasm. In particular, I would like to place on record my thanks to Ding-san, Harada-san, Sanada-san and Moriwakai-san. Swami Medhasananda from Nippon Vedanta Kyokai offered insightful suggestions based on his extensive research on an Indian city (Benaras) and his social work for the homeless in Japan.
